The result is optimized code that is customized to deliver top quality output. It automates routine functions but also has an interactive mode in which the operator can make specific changes to meet the requirements of a particular job. The SMP/IS software has a powerful feature called AutoMate Express and it can speed up the gcode creation process and improve the final result. Sheet metal software, such as SMP/IS, can help operators create code that maximizes throughput. Steps that result in efficient layouts and short tool paths are time-consuming to carry out manually and the results are often not optimized fully. dxf files are available, the parts drawings can be processed but before the G-Code specifying tool paths can be written, there are several additional steps that have to be carried out.

Merry Mechanization's SMP/IS CAD/CAM application can read a wide variety of file types including DXF files. dxf (Drawing Exchange Format) CAD file type is a common type of input file for the fabrication of sheet metal parts and other file types are often converted to dxf before further processing. The in-house CAD/CAM software of the sheet metal fabricator has to be able to import or read these files and convert them to file types the in-house software can use. Sheet metal fabrication shops have to work with many different file types as their customers place parts orders using output files from their own CAD programs.
